Even Moor...Man

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Chris Moorman opened to 175,000 with the button, and Joe Ebanks defended his big blind. The flop came down {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, and both players checked.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, and Ebanks check-called 250,000 from Moorman.

The river was the {9-Spades}, and Ebanks checked a third time. Moorman fired 600,000, Ebanks folded, and Moorman now has about 7.7 million chips.

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier Eliminated in 3rd Place ($447,074)

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier - 3rd Place
Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier - 3rd Place

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier had the button, and open-shoved for about 1.7 million. Joe Ebanks re-shoved from the small blind, Chris Moorman, surrendered his big blind, and the hands were opened.

Grospellier: {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Ebanks: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

The dealer rapped the table, burned a card, then fanned {5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

The British rail roared loudly, rooting for Ebanks so that Moorman would be heads up for the bracelet.

The crowd got even louder when the {3-Clubs} turned, and Grospellier was down to one final card.

The river was paint, but the {q-Hearts} wasn't enough for ElkY, and he was eliminated from the tournament. He placed his hands on his head in disappointment, then eventually shook both Ebanks and Moorman's hands before exiting.

The Team PokerStars pro will not leave empty handed - he banked $447,074 for his efforts, and is now in second place in the 2011 World Series of Poker Player of the Year race.

Moorman proceeded to check call a bet of 750,000 on the {6-Hearts} turn and 1.5 million on the {4-Diamonds} river.

Ebanks showed {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for a flopped straight and the win. Moorman dropped to 4.4 million while Ebanks is up to 9.8 million.
